Best ships in Skull and Bones - tier list.

This Skull and Bones ship tier list will go through all ships in the game to help you decide on the best ones to upgrade and use.

In short, the best ships in Skull and Bones are the Sentinel (Cutter), the Bombardier (Padewakang), and the Vanguard. The first favors maneuverability, the second DPS, and the third survivability and cargo space.

Let’s go through all the ships in further detail.

S-Tier (Best Ships in Skull and Bones)

Best ships in Skull and Bones - tier list.

S-Tier ships are overall your best choices due to offering amazing DPS, mobility, and weapon slots. Unlocking and upgrading one of these will allow you to complete almost any type of content in the game easily.

  • Sentinel (Cutter)
  • Bombardier (Padewakang)
  • Vanguard

Let’s go through the best options and explain what makes them stand out.

Sentinel (Cutter)

The Cutter ship is a small ship that features high maneuverability, great damage, and the ability to self-heal. It’s ideal for solo content as it can do almost anything in the right hands.

Bombardier (Padewakang)

The Bombardier is the best DPS ship in the game. With the Detonate perk, its explosive hits have a high chance of triggering an explosion that deals AoE damage.

Additionally, it has increased damage to ships and structures, 14 Gunports, and one Auxiliary weapon slot.

Vanguard

The Vanguard is the best tank ship in Skull and Bones. It packs amazing survivability, solid speed, and a large cargo size. These make it ideal for completing challenging group content, such as Plunder Missions and World Quests.

Additionally, with 13 Gunports, it can deal solid damage when needed.

A-Tier

A-Tier ships are great options that are easier to acquire compared to S-Tier ones. While less strong, you can get them in the mid-game and help you progress until you’re able to get your hands on an S-Tier ship.

  • Barge
  • Snow
  • Brigantine

B-Tier

B-Tier ships are more situational and only recommended for certain activities. While they aren’t great all-rounders, they are very efficient in specific activities and, thus, are worth upgrading if you know when to use them.

  • Sloop
  • Frigate
  • Corvette

C-Tier

C-Tier ships are solid early-game options but should be replaced as soon as you unlock new upgrades. They will help when starting out but should be avoided in any other scenario.

  • Bedar
  • Hulk
  • Sambuk
  • Ghanjah

F-Tier Ships in Skull and Bones

Finally, ships in the F tier are overall weak and not worth using. I recommend not crafting or upgrading them at all and focusing on other ships instead.

  • Dhow

Wrapping up

To summarize this Skull and Bones ships tier list, the best ships in the game are

Once you unlock any of these, depending on the playstyle you prefer, I recommend upgrading them ASAP since they’ll help you complete all types of available content with ease.
